Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0340944A2] An exterior mirror for a motor vehicle has a base member (14) adapted to be mounted on a vehicle body, a housing (10) containing a reflective member (12) and having an end face adapted to confront the base member (14) with a peripheral edge (32, 36) round said end face serving as an abutment edge engaging with on the base member (14) for relative pivotal movement. A link (38) is pivotally connected at one end (40) to the base member (14) and a tension spring (46) is connected between the link (38) and an attachment point in the interior of the housing (10) and adapted to urge the abutment edge (32, 36) on the housing (10) into abutment with the the base member (14). The end (42) of the link (38) opposite to the end (40) connected to the base member (14) is pivotally connected to the housing (10) and the spring (46) is connected to an intermediate point (48) on the link (38). The base member (14) and housing (10) are shaped to conceal the abutment edge (32, 36) of the housing (10) when said edge (32, 36) is in engagement with the base member (14) around its entire periphery. The base member (14) has a cam surface (26) shaped to engage with the abutment edge (36) on one side of the housing (10), thereby to displace the housing (10) away from the base member (14) as soon as pivotal movement commences in a predetermined direction.
